Spot questions worth answering once in a reusable help resource.
Trigger
New WhatsApp Message Received
Polling trigger that monitors for new messages received in TimelinesAI WhatsApp chats.

Why this helps
The same customer questions keep arriving, but there is no easy way to review them together.
- Collect questions in one review location.
- Make recurring topics easier to identify over time.
- Create a starting point for future help content.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect TimelinesAI and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for FAQ candidate collection.
- 3Tell Notis to capture customer questions and include their topic when it can infer one from the available text.
- 4Choose New WhatsApp Message Received as the trigger and select where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real customer question and inspect the captured context.
Questions about this workflow
Will it know whether a question is truly recurring?
A single message trigger does not provide a complete history by itself. Use the sheet for later review or provide available history for comparison.
Does this publish an FAQ?
No. It collects candidate questions in Google Sheets for you to review.
